Even a "MOTHER. OF. GOD!" isn't enough to describe this.
So... Been reading a /tg/ quest thread (sort of an improv-roleplay create your own adventure thing) that is just.. Goddamn.
It's about the Transspace Guard (or "TG", hurr hurr) hopping around the "meta" (i.e. going to the worlds of various books, movies, games, a.s.o.) fixing shit by removing things that aren't supposed to be there, making sure events happen like they should and so on.
To do this they've picked up lots of generic every-people from various places (like a group of FFTactics White Mages, a bunch scientists from X-Com, some Starship Troopers Mobile Infantry.. I think.. And so on) and a few "hero" level people who are People With Names. (Characters important enough to have a name.)
It's totally awesome, but it's pure hell to keep up with sometimes.
Their latest (mis)adventure was a place where half a dozen horror worlds (or at least with strong horror elements) had been mashed into one.
So, basically they had Spike Spiegel (Cowboy bebop) and Data (Star Trek) running around Silent Hill (Horror game) who end up fighting a giant bio-horror Lal (Star Trek) and a Pyramid Head-Vicious (Silent Hill-Cowboy Bebop), among some general Silent Hill dickery with shit getting rusty and all doors being locked.
In the meantime, they have Gabriel Tosh (StarCraft II), an elf (Lord of the Rings), a pair of White Mages (the previously mentioned FFT) and some SPESS MUHREENS! (Warhammer 40.000) digging around Transylvania trying to figure out why both Count Strahd von Zarovich (D&D Ravenloft) and Count Dracula (Castlevania, more specifically A MONSTER THAT DOES NOT BELO-I mean Symphony of the Night) are terrorizing the same little village of medieval-ish peasants. (Turns out they both wanted the same girl, who just so happened to look like one of the White Mages. And a plan is formed.)
Oh, and there was also a fuckoff powerful Lich (D&D) who had conquered Raccoon City and was bossing around a, possibly Twilight-infected, vampiric Albert Wesker (Resident Evil).
Meanwhile they also had a probe (Star Wars, you know that thing that the rebels shoot in the snow field at the beginning of episode V) and a Protoss Observer (StarCraft) poking around the south pole where they just so happened to find the Mountains of Madness (H.P. Lovecraft).
After that was done, they went and cleared out some of the Berserk (manga series) people from Tokyo and killed "God"/The Source of all Suffering.
During all that first stuff they also found out that it was all a plan by The Dark Powers (D&D Ravenloft) to fuck around with people, and there were also some Persona users (Persona game series) that joined up in Japan. There were apparently also some rumors of Pokemon masters, but those went unconfirmed.
Instead if was off to Antarctica to possibly find The Thing (horror movie) and definitely find Elder Things (H.P. Lovecraft) and Shoggoths (still Lovecraft).
Including some that had been genetically engineered to grow something like Chaos Emeralds (Sonic the Hedgehog) from their bodies so they could bend time and space. Besides those and thousands of years worth of research by minds puny human intellect cannot hope to even fathom, they also found ADAM and the Spear of Longinus (Neon Genesis Evangelion). In the end it turned out that The Dark Power was actually the Ebon Dragon (Exalted), and they ended up causing the Second and a Half Impact (Second/Third Impact is Evangelion again. Second fucked up the world, Third turned all the people into orange tang because they did not resolve to live in an imperfect world). To survive this they had to take a detour through a ghost-memory-mirror image of the Kingdom of Zeal (Chrono Trigger) where they picked up the three Sages after gate (and wall) crashing Queen Zeal's little party with the Mammon Machine. They also had Egon Spangler (The Real Ghost Busters) help instead of sitting it out in the R&D department, because nothings says "Screw you giant ghost lady!" like an unlicensed, heavily experimental nuclear reactor strapped to your back (JUST DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!).
Also, the Ebon Dragon didn't know when to give up and got his already dead ass even deader.
So, yeah. Perfectly easy to keep up with. And that's a cleaned up, extremely summarized version of ONE adventure. They also had fun *sliding* with the Orz (Star Control), looting nukes from a post-apocalyptic wasteland (FallOut), messing around with Shadowrun (role playing game), getting infected with Sandmen nanites (Dark Matter, which is some other role playing game I dunno) because everyone went full retard for a second, they looted the FUCK out of Middle Earth (like picking up the goddamn Ringil, the Black Arrow, one of the Seven Dwarven Rings and some very fine elven wine for their iron-livered boss back at HQ), killed President Darth Vader (Star Wars) although Vice-President Starscream (Transformers) got away, used Mecha-Godzilla (Godzilla) to beat up the "real" Godzilla (duh), trapped a fucked up version of Alucard (Hellsing) in some sort of technobabble (or Treknobabble, seeing how a lot of their stuff is Star Trek) thing built of portal things or something (Stargate)... Oh, and they also went past the Command & Conquer universe and looted some Tiberium lasers (and all collectively shat their pants when they realized that Kane is running around somewhere out there in the Meta) and... Hell, the OFFICIAL RECAP OF THEIR STUFF is about as big as this entire post. The recap of what they've done to get all that stuff is bigger than Gabe Newell dressed as an X-Box.
I'm reading the archives, by the way. Not including some threads set aside for planning (i.e. arguing about who and what to recruit/requisition next) I'm at part 50(!) and I dare not look to see how many parts there are in total. >_>
